Chapter 465 A Thrilling Hunt
After Mingli returned to the Forest Management Bureau, he began to clean his gun.
His colleagues all knew that this was his last day hunting here, and they were all reluctant to part with him.
At this time, a woman dressed very coolly walked in.
"Who's Charles Chen?" she asked with a smile.
Mingli looked at her. She was a woman in her early thirties, wearing light makeup and a scorpion braid, looking like Lola from Tomb Raider.
"Iam." Mingli answered her.
"Can you speak Chinese?"
"Yes."
"Great! I just want to find a Chinese person to be my guide."
"I'm ready, are you?"
She patted the bag behind her.
"Ready, let's go!"
The two drove an off-road vehicle into the depths of the forest.
"Wow..." Suddenly a low growl came from the depths of the forest. Based on experience and common sense, I judged that it was the sound made by an adult brown bear.
"Get out of the car! Our prey has appeared, it should be nearby."
The woman got out of the car carefully, looking around vigilantly from time to time.
"Don't be nervous yet, it should be still very far away from us. By the way, what is it called?"
"Just call me Xin Yue. What about you? We're all from the same country, so it's more intimate to call me by my Chinese name!"
"My name is Mingli."
"Then I'll leave my life in your hands for the next few hours."
"It's the same with you! In a place like this, cooperation is extremely important. As long as everyone cooperates, nothing should go wrong."
As they walked, they looked for any trace of the bear.
"How big do you think our prey is this time?"
"Well... right now, there are no clues, so it's hard to guess. Oh, I got it."
Mingli stopped in front of a pile of feces
This pile of feces was still emitting a faint white smoke, and it looked quite fresh. Its owner should not have gone far.
Mingli observed for a moment and said, "This bear must weigh over 140 kilograms."
Xin Yue: "Just by looking at a pile of feces, you can tell how big it is? Isn't that incredible?"
Mingli: "This comes from experience. I think we should retreat."
Xin Yue: "Why? Don't you think it's disappointing to leave right after arriving?"
Mingli: "This bear is too big. I don't think it can be handled by just the two of us!"
Xin Yue: "Don't underestimate me. I have as much hunting experience in the United States as you do."
Mingli: "So you mean to continue?"
Xin Yue: "Of course, the more challenging the prey, the more excited I am. But I don't want to force you, so if you don't want to, please find me a new guide!"
Mingli thought to himself, "How could I do something so unethical as not to earn money when I have it? Besides, I've already delivered the message, so I've fulfilled my duty."
"Since you are not afraid of danger, what should I be afraid of?"
After that, the two continued to hike into the heart of the forest.
Just then, Mingli discovered that in the distance there was a forest with swaying shadows of trees, making a "squeaking" sound.
Mingli pulled Xinyue and pointed to the woods.
Xin Yue immediately understood and stopped, waiting for the prey to appear with Mingli.
Sure enough, a huge black shadow rushed out from the woods. Xin Yu immediately raised his hunting rifle and fired several shots at the big bear.
Before he could even let out a long roar, the big bear fell to the ground.
Xin Yue was eager to rush over to check her trophies, but Mingli immediately stopped her.
"You claim to be very experienced in hunting, but I think you're just bragging. With prey this large, especially animals like brown bears that sometimes play dead, professional hunters like us usually have to wait about half an hour after killing the prey before we can approach it. Otherwise, how can you tell if it's dead or just pretending to be dead?"
Xin Yue: "This is my first time bear hunting, so I didn't know there were so many rules. Let's wait another half an hour!"
Half an hour later, Mingli walked over slowly. He first felt the bear's body temperature, and then gradually approached it.
He turned around and called to Xin Yue: "Come here, it's dead."
Before he could finish his words, the brown bear behind him stood up unexpectedly and opened its mouth to bite Mingli.
At this critical moment, there were a few "bangs" and the bear fell on its back on the ground.
Mingli was so frightened that he lost six of his seven souls and spirits. Only when Xin Yue shouted, "Are you okay?" did he come to his senses.
He took his hunting knife and slowly walked towards the bear. After confirming that the brown bear was dead, he dared to say, "I'm fine. Now you can really come over."
Xin Yue ran over and kicked the bear a few times.
"Oh, that was a close call just now!"
"Hey, thank you so much for what happened just now. I never thought I'd fail. It was really dangerous just now. This is definitely the most thrilling hunting experience in my life."
Xin Yue opened the stretcher and said, "Stop talking and get this guy out of here! Otherwise, the smell of blood might attract some kind of animal."
Mingli hurriedly helped her carry the heavy thing to the off-road vehicle.
When the two men worked together to throw the brown bear onto the car, they were both exhausted and collapsed to the ground.
"Your guess is completely wrong, and you claim to have experience! This stupid bear must weigh more than 140 kilograms."
"Didn't I tell you to give up? It's you who refused to give up. I didn't expect you, who looks like a white-collar lady, to be so hardworking and strong enough to carry this thing out with me. You're even stronger than some men. This has completely changed my perception of you."
"Need I say that? That's why I told you not to look down on women."
After the two of them rested, Mingli drove back to the forest management to report and hand in his work.
Xin Yue: "Are we done now?"
Mingli: "Well, what else do you want? After the staff examines the bear's body and removes the microchip, you can take the bear away."
Xin Yue: "Why do I need that thing?"
Mingli looked at her as if she was quite surprised.
"Don't you want to keep something as a souvenir? Bear skin is a great choice! I can skin it for free. Bear teeth are also great! And if you want to ship it back to China, it won't be difficult. You just need to go through the paperwork to prove that it was hunted here."
"No need, I'll give it to you!"
Mingli thought this woman was really interesting. She came all the way here just to experience the thrill of bear hunting, and she didn't want any souvenirs. This was the first time he had met such a customer.
"Are you a local? I'm curious why you can speak Mandarin so well."
"Actually, I'm Chinese too. I just came here to study. The reason I can do this is because they happened to be short of people, so they gave me a temporary work card. Also, this is my last time as a fishing and hunting guide, so you should be my last customer here."
"Really? Then we are destined to be together?"
